LTTTC & Taking Clomid/Metformin 2009 #3

[Mez Moz]

Tammara... I'm sending a big virtual hug to you! What an emotional rollercoaster. Hope you are treating yourself to something nice, although I do know that chocolate, warm baths and cuddles from those you love don't always ease the pain...but they are worth trying!

Bella...could it be implantation bleeding??? Or perhaps just spotting? I don't have heavy periods on clomid (never did before clomid either) and often spot for up to 4 days before my period. Deffers do a preggo test before starting clomid again. Crossing my fingers for you that it's implantation bleeding.

Porsche...here's hoping you get UTD so you don't have to have a lap. I'm in the same situation. Hopefully my AF doesn't arrive as scheduled in a week's time. The 2WW is torture!

Hi Ladies

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in my 2WW now. So we'll see what happens this cycle. I've ordered the Pre-seed ready for next cycle. I've got nothing to lose. And I'll try anything to avoid my Lap lol.

MezMoz - Good luck with your lap. Have you had one done before?

Jess85 - Thanks for the luck. I'll need it I'm sure!

Tammara - get some chocolate if you don't already and don't give up, I understand it is very emotionally draining but you you just have to keep on going. Fingers crossed for you in the future.

Morning Girls,

Yet again it has been a while for me on here. I’ve been off work for the past couple of days as I have a rash on my legs, I’m allergic to something in my new garden and I’ve got no idea what, oh fun fun!

Oh Tamarra you poor thing, do try to cheer up love, this stress is not good for you. I’ll be thinking of you on Monday, hopefully IVF is the answer for you, it was for Frustrated remember! Hope you are feeling a little better today after your chocolate pig out. We do understand though, this road is a hard one, I’m confident we will all become stronger because of it. Also, thanks for the info on the ovarian drilling, see…you are able to teach us all something which you wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.

Where are you Frustrated? How’s it all going?

Bella, any news on the preggo test yet?

Welcome Porche, I am booked in for a Lap in Feb 2010, so you will have to let me know how yours goes, unless you’re UTD first that is.

Hey Jess, so what did they do about your cyst love? Did they remove it?

As for me…well I am enjoying my time off at the moment, I think it was just what I needed. Whilst I was very hesitant to take time away from TTC as I hate wasting time, I do feel that it has really helped, and who knows…I think I actually ovulated this month anyway (that would be the first time ever unassisted) so I should know by late next week.

Good luck to you all girls, hope the silly season is keeping you all pre-occupied.

Love Keli xxoo

Thanks everyone, im good today think i just needed to have a melt down and get it all out.

I am looking forward to talking to DR monday about ivf and looking at my options. Im thinking i wont be able to concieve with my own eggs unfortunately because they are just not being stimulated but my incredibly generous cousin said she will donate hers - she has two children and had no probs concieving and is done baby making and im very lucky to have had my sister and sister in law offer too. Sister has PCOS and had trouble concieving so my cousin is the best bet.

So with hearing her generous offer last night makes me feel heaps better.

Hope i get it like frustrated

Hope everyone else is going great.

Hi Keli

I will def let you know how my lap goes. But I'm hoping I get UTD! I'm going to give it my all next cycle so at least I know we did all we possibly could!

I would love to have some time off! I'm soo exhausted all the time. Work and TTC and all the other stuff like LIFE!

Hope all the Xmas parties are keeping you all busy!!!

Hey Guys,

Sorry been so flat out havent even had a chance to come on and read whats happening.
Tammara dont give up, ivf doctors are miracle workers, it is such a long hard process but its all worth it in the end. Been thinking of you.

So i'm just over 11 weeks now, everything is going well, still the occasional nausea and tiredness but over all pretty good. Go for 12 week scan next week, im so scared that something is going to be wrong, im guessing that is normal after trying for so long, we just expect things to go wrong. Dh has been counting down the days till we get to see our bubby..

Been thinking of everyone and hoping to come back to some good news. Dont give up coz it will happen, just waiting for the right little bubby for each and everyone of you.

Hi ladies

Well my 2ww is pretty much over as I started spotting today and had some light cramps, which means AF is on her way with more torturous cramps to come. I'm feeling very emotional and fighting back the tears...I guess you all know this feeling! I've just booked in to see my FS next Thursday to schedule my lap... I've never had one before so I'm a bit scared.

I've been studying Tibetan Buddhist teachings as part of my yoga course and typically today was the day I was learning more about 'attachment' (yes universe, I'm trying to learn!!!). In a nutshell, Buddha teaches that attachment brings suffering because nothing lasts forever, so if you are attached to something it will inevitably bring you pain. This has made me realise how attached I am to having a baby - if I wasn't so attached I wouldn't be an emotional wreck each time AF arrives. But how to let go of this attachment and be at peace with whatever happens in life??? That is the hard part! Anyway, sorry if I'm sounding like a freaked out nut, but all this philosophy stuff is coming at a time when I'm really starting to question how hard I should be 'trying' to conceive. Perhaps it's not meant to be my journey???

Sorry ladies, PMT is obviously getting the better of me at the moment. Time to indulge in chocolate, wine and coffee! At least I can safely have a few champers over xmas and new years.

My fingers are crossed for you all, and great to hear your words of encouragement Frustrated. Good luck with the scan, I'm sure it will be fine and you will see your precious little miracle - what a great xmas present!
